For family and financial reasons I'm still presenting male - in the closet except for my best friend in fact -, but occassionally, when I'm alone, I'd like to put on some makeup and have "girly time".
I don't know how to deal with my eyebrows though. Any experience/advice on how could I manage it so it wouldn't ruin my male presentation but it would allow me to "makeover" myself as well?

I don't know how is the look of your eyebrows, but you can always pluck it a bit...
Keeping the same shape but making it thinner is a good way of get a more feminine look. There are a lot of men with thin eyebrows, so it wouldn't be something that ununsual.
If you feel bold enough you could even shape it a bit, but only a bit...men eyebrows are straight and women are arched, so you could arch just a bit.
But if you don't have experience plucking you shouldn't do it yourself as you can ruin your eyebrows with a wrong move...the ideal is to pay someone experienced to do it.

I have a nose/ear hair trimmer that has an eyebrow attachment (I think it was made by Braun). It keeps my brows from becoming bushy. I also plucked the eyebrows on the bridge of my nose, and was surprised when they never grew back.

Check out these brows, especially the one on the left:

A very "masculine" look.
